Exercises to Do While Pumping

Pumping Mamas Pump Iron

I have gotten pretty good at entertaining myself while sitting through the dreadful pumping process. I've read a book, typed on my laptop and chatted with friends. Lately, I have decided I want to pump some iron while attached to the tubes so I started exercising. I put on my hands-free pumping bra and go to town working up a sweat. Start with these moves and stay tuned for my yoga tips!

Balance an exercise ball and flex the stomach muscles. It will strengthen the core and flatten that tummy.

While dispensing a bottle's worth of milk, mommy can extend her arms out to the side and make fast circular motions. Count to fifteen making small circles and then reverse. Repeat three times and then make the circles larger.

Every mother knows that kegels are the exercise that will get the plumbing back to normal better than any other stretch or motion. But we all forget to practice them. Take time during pumping to squeeze the insides back into shape.
